Spamholes Fighting Spammers

mike9010 writes "A person named I)ruid has come up with an ingenious way to combat those spammers. His program, spamhole, creates a false 'open relay' that the spammer thinks he/she can send messages through. The messages then get sent nowhere, and the spammer has no idea. "spamhole is an open project. Hopefully, through user's and developer's contributions, we will amass a collection of spamhole implementations spanning all commonly used platforms, programming languages, etc. Ease of configuration and use are the primary objectives, for the easier to use by the non-techical layperson the implementations are, the more widely adopted and used spamhole will become.""

Kneecaps are to quick and not painful enough.

It's slow and painful enough if you do them from behind with a drill like you are supposed to, but if that's not good enough, then there is always the power sander for the truly discerning and sadistic knee capper. Of course, if anyone can provide some spammers, I'm sure there will be no shortage of volunteers to perform the necessary testing to provide some empirical evidence...
